Finite volume effects in pion-kaon scattering and reconstruction of the κ(800) resonance

Michael Döring (Bonn)

Simulating the κ(800) on the lattice is a challenging task that starts to become feasible due to the rapid progress in recent-years lattice QCD calculations.  As the resonance is broad, special attention to finite-volume effects has to be paid, because no sharp resonance signal as from avoided level crossing can be expected.  We investigate the finite volume effects in the framework of unitarized chiral perturbation theory using next-to-leading order terms.  After a fit to meson-meson partial wave data, lattice levels for pi-K scattering are predicted.  In addition, levels are shown for the quantum numbers in which the σ(600), f0(980), a0(980), φ(1020), K*(892), and ρ(770) appear, as well as the repulsive channels.  Methods to extract the κ(800) signal from the lattice spectrum are presented.  Using pseudo-data, we estimate the precision that lattice data should have to allow for a clear-cut extraction of this resonance.  [arXiv:1111.0616]
